Can you apply Ace hardware poly-finish Latex Acrylic over Polyurethane?
I did! I had white latex paint and added minwax chestnut brown stain to it. When I tried to mix the two to Schubert a brown color I ended up with a swirl (oil and water do not mix). I applied the mixture with a rag to an old table and the paint ended up turning a purplish color with cream and brown streaks. Almost like a milk paint look. I LOVE my "new" table!!

Can you use rubber base over epoxy base paint?
When you say rubber base paint I assume you mean latex paint. Yes, latex paint will adhere to an existing epoxy finish. However, the epoxy must already have cured. Meaning, it was already applied sometime in the past. A pretty good rule of thumb to go by when you're unsure if two finishes are compatible is to apply a coat of primer. Also, when latex paint is applied to a primed surface it will last that much longer, appear more uniform and will usually require only one coat of paint for proper coverage.

What are the differences between water-based and latex paint, and how do they affect the outcome of a painting project?
Water-based paint and latex paint are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences. Water-based paint refers to any paint that uses water as a carrier, while latex paint specifically uses a synthetic resin called latex. Latex paint is a type of water-based paint. The main difference between the two is that latex paint is more durable and resistant to wear and tear compared to other water-based paints. This makes it a popular choice for painting projects that require a long-lasting finish, such as walls and trim. The choice between water-based and latex paint can affect the outcome of a painting project in terms of durability, ease of application, and clean-up. Latex paint tends to dry faster, have less odor, and be easier to clean up with water. Water-based paints, on the other hand, may require more coats for coverage and can be less durable in high-traffic areas. Ultimately, the choice between water-based and latex paint depends on the specific needs of the project and the desired outcome.
